* Reduced fare: As you are accustomed, children from 4 to 11 years of age (with season tickets for 4 to 18 years old) and people over 65 years of age receive a discount of 34% on the fare price. A precondition requires you to have a OV-chipkaart so your age will automatically adjust the reduction in the fare price. You do not need to do anything else to get the reduction.
